ultrasonic sensor
An ultrasonic sensor uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect the presence, position, or distance of objects within its range. The main functions of this device include measuring how far away something is; Object detection; and Sensing liquid levels.
Some major characteristics of ultrasonic sensors are working in different environments, small size and low power consumption. These sensors emit an ultrasonic pulse then measure the time it takes for the pulse to bounce back once it hits an object.
Applications of ultrasonic sensors are many and varied, such as automotive parking sensors and robotics liquid level monitoring.
